    question for skaters

    hey im not that great at skateboarding, i just have a problem that mabey you know the answer

    three out of four of my wheels spin fine, but i think the other one made contact to water, and just stops immediatly after i spin it. the other ones spin for like 20-30 seconds. I used to use wd-40 for my old skate, but i learned that it screws up your bearings even more. it sucks cuz it ruins my speed and handleing.

    Any advice?

    Well, this takes me wayyy back, but I used to skate back in the day. If you have a skate tool, I would take off your problem wheel and take a look. You will probably need a new bearing, which shouldn't be too much of a problem. Hope that helps.

    heres a way to clean them and hopefully stop them from getting more fucked up...
    pry them out, take off the covers, fill up a bowl with some water and alot of sink soap, like dawn or something, and get a toothbrush. put them all in there, let it sit for like an hour, then come back, and take them out one by one, clean the balls with a toothbrush, spin them *alot* on your fingers, and make sure their thorougly dry. if this doesnt work, forgoe the dimebags and get yourself some Bones Swiss!

    Yeah dude get a new bearing. Just go down to your skateshop and ask for a spare bearing, I'm sure they'll have one. I doubt it was the rain though I used to skate in the rain occasionally and my bearings were straight.
